TrainAR
TrainAR is a free tool for creating procedural augmented reality training for handheld devices. It combines an interaction concept, a didactic framework, and an authoring tool. Authors import 3D models, convert them into TrainAR objects, then use visual scripting to define instructions, user actions, and feedback. The tool includes onboarding animations, tracking solutions, assembly placement, layered feedback, and training assessments. Learners can grab, interact with, and combine objects, as well as answer interface questions. Developers can instead work through the Unity Editor overlay and C# programming. The editor extension works with Unity on Windows, macOS, and Linux; training apps can be deployed to Android and iOS. iOS deployment requires Xcode on macOS after the app is built. The installation guide calls for Unity 2022.3 LTS and relevant platform modules. TrainAR is available under the MIT license for commercial and non-commercial use. It focuses on procedural task understanding, not the associated motor skills.
